Don Williams announces pair of Ryman shows

Country music veteran Don Williams is coming out of tour retirement this fall, and he'll be playing two shows at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium on October 20 and 21.

Those shows come just days before the "Gentle Giant" is set to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on October 24. They'll also be a central part of 650 AM WSM’s 85th Anniversary celebration.

Tickets for both shows go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, July 23 through Ticketmaster, the Ryman Box Office, ryman.com or by calling 800-745-3000.
